A:
There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable
and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You
can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green
Guru's secret identity.

ANSWER:

Sorry, we sell no seeds at all, except for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Mix in the Wild Things Store. At a quick glance, we would say all of your seeds are non-native to North America, and probably would not thrive in Amarillo under any circumstances. While we have a National Suppliers Directory, they all handle mostly natives to the area in which they are. We only sell plants twice a year in our Spring and Fall Plant Sales, and those are all Central Texas natives. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is committed to the growth, protection and propagation of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which the plants will be grown.

If you are interested in gardening in Amarillo, we would suggest you go to our Recommended Species, click on the Texas High Plains section on the map, and you can search our database for plants that would do well in your climate, soils and average rainfall.
